An internet enabled television device comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive and decode a broadcast television signal, the broadcast television signal comprising audio video data and service information;
- transmit information indicating availability of a service to a plurality of second devices over a local area network;
- receive a connection request from at least two of the second devices of the plurality of second devices;
- communicate with the at least two second devices in a first mode when the decoded service information does not include emergency alert information;
- communicate with the at least two second devices in a second mode different from the first mode when the decoded service information includes the emergency alert information, the second mode comprising communicating emergency information of the emergency alert to the at least two devices for display thereon.
A method comprising:
- receiving and decoding, via circuitry, a broadcast television signal, the broadcast television signal comprising audio video data and service information;
- transmitting information indicating availability of a service to a plurality of second devices over a local area network;
- receiving a connection request from at least two of the second devices of the plurality of second devices;
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a first mode when the decoded service information does not include emergency alert information;
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a second mode different from the first mode when the decoded service information includes the emergency alert information, the second mode comprising communicating emergency information of the emergency alert to the at least two devices for display thereon.
A non-transitory storage medium comprising computer code, which, when executed on a computer, performs a method comprising:
- receiving and decoding a broadcast television signal, the broadcast television signal comprising audio video data and service information;
- transmitting information indicating availability of a service to a plurality of second devices over a local area network;
- receiving a connection request from at least two of the second devices of the plurality of second devices;
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a first mode when the decoded service information does not include emergency alert information;
- communicating with the at least two second devices in a second mode different from the first mode when the decoded service information includes the emergency alert information, the second mode comprising communicating emergency information of the emergency alert to the at least two devices for display thereon.
